Question

Construct a right angle triangle whose hypotenuse is $6cm$ long and one of the legs is $4cm$ long.

Answer 1

To construct: A right angle triangle $DEF$ where $DF=6cm$ and $EF=4cm$
Steps of construction:
(a) Draw a line segment $EF=4cm$
(b) At point $Q$, draw $EX\perp EF$
(c) Taking $F$ as centre and radius $6cm$, draw an arc (Hypotenuse)
(d) This arc cuts the $EX$ at point $D$
(e) Join $DF$
It is the right angled triangle $DEF$
